My 15yo daughter taught herself to knit!

Whoa, Emily taught herself how to knit!  She presented me with a dishcloth last night, that she made herself, in secret, not even telling her sister.  She was sneaky!

It’s supposed to be the shape of Wisconsin, and then the two initals, we would put in an address W-I.

Now, she is making an Ipod sock, for her sister.  Pics available at Photobucket link, above.

She got her inspiration from Chicks with Sticks, two books about a knitting group, geared toward teenagers!

Now, that she has revealed herself, we went and bought her the proper yarn for making a dishcloth and a book of 12 dishcloth patterns!  I might make one, too!  Oooh, and the 100% cotton Sugar and Spice dishcloth yarn was only $.99, instead of $1.49!

About Dawn

I like to play the piano, read, knit, and play with my dog. Temps are getting cooler now and the leaves are changing color, since it's fall now.
